368 ‡c Other Designation

BL: Generally record only if used as the basis for an AAP qualifier. Note that titles of royalty and nobility are assigned to 368 ‡d, and NACO policy does not allow entry of ‡d.

Based on the April 2014 RDA update, here are the types of potential qualifiers that could be entered in ‡c, excluding the ‡d categories (titles of royalty, nobility, and ecclesiastical rank):

Mandatory as qualifiers in AAP:

Saints (9.19.1.2.4) <unless the person also has a ‡d type title, in which case the title trumps the saint qualifier>

Spirits (9.19.1.2.5)

May be used as qualifiers in the AAP if needed to differentiate, again excluding the ‡d categories:

Persons named in sacred scriptures or apocryphal books, fictitious and legendary characters, type, species or breed (9.19.1.2.6). There is an option to qualify by one of the 9.19.1.2.6 types even if there is no need to differentiate; the LC PCC PS allows the cataloger to use the option. YUL: strongly recommended that the option be used.

Term of address was allowed (or not forbidden) as a qualifier in the category of Other designation, but a term of address isn't a title. Whether a term of address qualifies as an Other designation (‡c) is not clear.
